England Flyhalf Farrell Will Miss Six Nations

Flyhalf Owen Farrell was ruled out of England’s Six Nations team on Tuesday, two days after badly twisting his left knee in club rugby action. A scan on Monday revealed Farrell suffered a high-grade medial ligament strain.

England said in a statement he will miss their tournament campaign, which begins next Friday against Wales in Cardiff.
